This weekend, table tennis enthusiasts are in for a thrilling encounter as Ormesby prepares to take on Brighton TTC in a pivotal SBL Premier Division tie. The winner of this match will cement their position at the top of the mini-league standings, setting the stage for an intense finale to the season.
Ormesby, the north-east side, will be looking to go one better than last year and capture the coveted title. Their squad, comprising Enio Mendes, Sam Mabey, and Ben Piggot, will be determined to secure victory, despite the absence of their star player, David McBeath, whose incredible form this season has been a significant asset for the team.
In another crucial match, BATTS will be aiming to get their title ambitions back on track as they host last year’s champions, Ormeau, in what will be their final home fixture of the season. BATTS, featuring Chris Doran, Josh Bennett, and the club’s junior prodigy, Ralph Pattison, are coming off a narrow defeat two weeks ago and will be eager to bounce back. A win for the home side could see the league title decided on the final day of the season, as Ormeau, represented by Jonathan Mooney, James Skelton, and Conor Nugent, will be determined to halt BATTS’ charge towards their first-ever league championship.
At the other end of the table, North Ayrshire and TableTennisDaily (TTD) will face off in a rematch of their previous tense encounter. The Scottish side, with a four-player squad comprising Viktor Gorman, Colin Dalgleish, Martin Johnson, and Hugo Torngren, will be brimming with confidence after recent victories against Drumchapel Glasgow and Fusion. TTD’s manager, Anthony Kent, is hoping to replicate their earlier-season success against North Ayrshire, with Callum Evans, Umair Mauthoor, and Dan Ives leading the charge.
Drumchapel Glasgow will also be looking to bounce back from their previous defeat as they take on Fusion. Sepehr Bidari, the Drumchapel Glasgow coach, acknowledges the importance of this “must-win” match, with Larry Trumpauskas, Shaqullie Webb-Dixon, and Lorestas Trumpauskas of Fusion posing a formidable challenge.
Fans can look forward to an exciting weekend of table tennis action, with all matches from the SBL Premier Division being broadcast live on TTE.TV.
